O.P. Hide Elements while connecting?
Hey guys, I was wondering if thereŽs a way to hide the elements of logon window, when I press the connect button, just hide them while connecting,
and if connecton is aborted then show the elements again, how to apply this to the links button for example, I just want to see the entire image of that window in that moment, I hope you can give me any ideas, thanks in advance.

This cannot be done with skinning since it could not be a boolval or multival option. Those are the two kinds of skinning options. Hope you understand. If it can be done, it could be done only with a script.

It couldn't be done at all.

The resources are loaded and applied as soon as the .exe starts, after which they can not be edited or changed without restarting the .exe.

Ok, I understand guys, i just think it should be nice, anyway, thanks  for your answers. :(
Hey iŽve seen something that could be useful (only if you can help me) in this situation, well as you can see on your own wlm when the connect button is pressed, the mail an password boxes turn their background to transparent and their foreground to a pale greed, so i was thinking if the "state pale greed" could be changed to transparent color, these items would virtully dissapear (which i am looking for), but I donŽt know where is defined this state (so I could replace the greed color to transparent), but all of this could be possible only if the transparent color is able to be set (is it possible?), well Basilis and Vaccination I hope you could guide me since it could be much easier than the other idea,(guess (Smilie)), thanx

Just edit the 947 style...I've done that...it changes the boxes to anycolor you want when they are not active (cuz you're signing in)

code:
CBInput[id=atom(idPasswordInput)]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20016);
MaxTextLength:16;
background:argb(200,255,255,255);
borderthickness:rcrect(20010);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
width:226;
padding:rect(4,3,4,3);
accessible:true;
accname:rcstr(61282);
accdesc:rcstr(61283);
accrole:42;
accstate:536870912;
margin:rect(0,2,0,5);
richeditstyle:PlainText|HideSelection|AllowBeep|UsePassword;
}
CBInput[id=atom(idPasswordInput)][enabled=false]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20016);
background:argb(20,255,255,255);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
}
element[id=atom(idEmailInputContainer)]
{
Width:226;
margin:rect(0,2,0,8);
borderthickness:rcrect(20010);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
contentalign:middleleft;
background:argb(200,255,255,255);
}
element[id=atom(idEmailInputContainer)][enabled=false]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20016);
background:argb(20,255,255,255);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
}


This is the code that is used in the pic (attachment)

If he does that, then they will not be visible when they are not active. So, when he doesn't write in them, he will not be able to see them, which is not right.

I don't say the opposite. And also, he is the one who will choose if he does it or not. I just said what it will happen. :)

That will rly happen, that's why I suggest him to use a not totally transparent argb...it will be easier to see...hmm...and it just stays inactive when you can't type...it keeps active if you're using another window...
